  Love it when someone knows they can’t come up with a sensible rebuttal so just attacks the person instead. It really only serves to show how weak they are as a person.

    Even funnier given that urban planners in charge of our cities have stated time and time again that the future of our cities is car-free.

    The people whose job it is to plan our cities, are saying that we are transitioning to pedeatrian-friendly cities. This is a shift that occurred in education and best-practice some time ago. But age 60+ project managers are finally fucking retiring.

    But you are apparently in an “echo chamber,” lol. Peak projection from Wooki.

    Any rational individual can see article and post is so far from “sensible” it’s comical. I hope it’s comical because otherwise it’s dangerously delusional

  I think @Zagorath@aussie.zone said it best. This is a violation of Rule 2.

    There is no discussion that can be had here, at all, anyone with any form of Critical thinking can see this is insanely dangerous as it is ridiculous .

    Thanks for reinforcing my echo chamber point. Could never have been proven more.

      I haven’t read the article and it doesn’t look like you have either. But what I gather is they’re not trying to shut down the M1 in Brisbane every Saturday. They’re just suggesting closing some busy roads for markets and festivals to encourage people to use public transport. I don’t drive in the CBD and my experience is only really with Brisbane so I’m not really against the idea. But of course public transport needs to catch up, the trains in SEQ are ridiculously slow but the buses are actually quite good, of course we need more of them and bigger ones. Personally, I don’t see how this has anything to do with being in an echo chamber. Failing to provide a good argument against one supported by an alleged “echo chamber” only serves to embolden the “echo chamber”. So really you should be thanking yourself for reinforcing the echo chamber.

        The podcast premise is born in false equivalence of Australian cities to the NY and other utter massive cities. That’s straight out of the gate. I stopped there.

        “Failing to provide a good argument “

        There is NO argument to be had here it’s blatantly obvious why it’s bad and this type of delusion perpetuates a very dangerous delusion. But hey rule ban dissent away
